Armenian Folk Music

[despina]

Hello everybody!
It's Despina calling from Athens
I'm really really into music. And after ESC Moscow, I'd like to know more about the Armenian music. I really loved the Armenia's song, the girls were just perfect.
Could anybody can tell me about singers? I'm looking for interesting folk songs, and for modern singers who has the style of music of the eurovision song "Jan Jan" and female singers with a nice voice. If you can tell me some names, that would be perfect so I can find them online and download.
Shnorhacalutyun!

Yes, it's a shame people know more about persons like Britney Spears than unique cultures of other countries. Some much beauty in Armenian culture and also Greek culture. It would be better if there were more people like you interested in other countries' cultures.

Here's a site for Armenian music.

Regarding our culture not being known. That's really sad, I know ! Me and a big team are working on dealing with that issue in various ways. Hope we'll be able to make a difference.

well, greek culture is a bit more known than Armenian culture because of ouzo, and zorba dances but armenian culture has so much to discover. it's a shame that people don't care. System of a Down even doesn't work for that too.. I mean they should have some more armenian tunes in their music.

Personally, I don't like System of a Down because I hate that type of music. I guess they don't put Armenian tunes and put the noise rock so to appeal to Americans.

Re: Armenian Folk Music

Hey! I'm asking here for all of you dear Armenian friends.
Does anyone has mp3s of Sirusho and Arkashyans? If you do would you e-mail me a couple?
I searched a lot and all I got is Qele Qele,Miayn Qez, Ughaki by Sirusho and Nor Par by Inga-Anush which I already have. I'd be soo happy if you'd sent me a couple of songs by them. I'm up for any other musicians too.
Thanks in advance Looking forward for your mails, my dear Armenian friends.

Hello Folks

I am British (of Dutch/Irish decent) am based in central London and I adore traditional Armenian culture and folk music.

I just ordered Anush, Inga Arshakyan – Tamzara 2006 album on CD today. However I had to order it from the US, as I couldn't find a European distributor.

You can hear the album online at.
